I was just eh on Loomis going into this book but OH MY GOSH. How much I liked him, and him and Keegan together, was undeniably unexpected. 🤣 Their love story ended up one of my favorites of this Irresistible series.
When Loomis - a bad boy movie star never seen with the same woman twice and made it his motto to “never fall in love” and “if you do, always love your more” - falls, he falls HARD. And almost without realizing it until he’s done. He is so sweet and protective towards both his son and Keegan. And Keegan, who had been a side character in the prior books (though we knew if her crush on Loomis), was an absolute delight with hersecret smut career and hie strong she actually was - while she was at a crossroads of some things of what she wanted, she was at a point where she was strong and not going to settle any longer. No more little mermaid trying to change in the hope that the prince will notice her and fall in love; she’s leaning into who she is.
Maybe I’d describe the 🌶️ as fun more than hot -Loomis has his own particularity following sex that cracked me up every time.
I was convinced that once they got to the “real” world, their little relationship bubble wasn’t going to last. It would burst in that third act breakup. And all the shit being thrown at them? Of course it was. Except that would be lazy and sloppy writing. And Ms J Saman is not a lazy or sloppy writer. No spoilers, but I absolutely love how it played out.
The other part I liked was her ex boyfriend. Specifically, that he wasn’t a terrible person. He may not have been her right person, he may have hurt her, but he wasn’t a bad person. So often in making sure you like the MMC, the author will make sure you know just how terrible the ex is. Again, lazy writing. And again, not something done here. Yes, I absolutely knew who was F’ing with them releasing all the info, but it’s a romance, not a mystery, so that didn’t take away from my enjoyment at all.
Oh and the cameo by Octavia Abbot-Fritz was *everything.*
